Hi All,

I've been riding bikes on the road and track since I was 18 years old and I currently ride an 08 Yamaha R6 in the sunny (although not today) city of Perth, Australia. I was recently given the "Long Way Round" book to read where Ewan McGregor and his friend rode across Europe and Mongolia through to America. As a lover of travelling I embraced this as an opportunity to combine my love of bikes and travelling and plan my own motorcycle trip.

Roping in my travelling buddy Ben (yet to join this forum) we've set an initial date of mid 2015 to travel around China for 4 to 6 weeks and hopefully tick off 10,000km in this beautiful country! We're in the preliminary stages at the moment and I'll be doing plenty of research on this forum for information on places to visit, bikes to ride and bureaucratic nightmares to overcome!

Any advice, hints and tips are much appreciated and I'll be sure to try and catch up with as many people as we can as we travel. Pics of myself and Ben so you can point and laugh will follow.

Cheers
Adam
